<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. Applications should instead use the provider APIs.</p>

<p>The <b>DH_METHOD</b> type is a structure used for the provision of custom DH implementations. It provides a set of functions used by OpenSSL for the implementation of the various DH capabilities.</p>

<p>DH_meth_new() creates a new <b>DH_METHOD</b> structure. It should be given a unique <b>name</b> and a set of <b>flags</b>. The <b>name</b> should be a NULL terminated string, which will be duplicated and stored in the <b>DH_METHOD</b> object. It is the callers responsibility to free the original string. The flags will be used during the construction of a new <b>DH</b> object based on this <b>DH_METHOD</b>. Any new <b>DH</b> object will have those flags set by default.</p>

<p>DH_meth_dup() creates a duplicate copy of the <b>DH_METHOD</b> object passed as a parameter. This might be useful for creating a new <b>DH_METHOD</b> based on an existing one, but with some differences.</p>

<p>DH_meth_free() destroys a <b>DH_METHOD</b> structure and frees up any memory associated with it. If the argument is NULL, nothing is done.</p>

<p>DH_meth_get0_name() will return a pointer to the name of this DH_METHOD. This is a pointer to the internal name string and so should not be freed by the caller. DH_meth_set1_name() sets the name of the DH_METHOD to <b>name</b>. The string is duplicated and the copy is stored in the DH_METHOD structure, so the caller remains responsible for freeing the memory associated with the name.</p>

<p>DH_meth_get_flags() returns the current value of the flags associated with this DH_METHOD. DH_meth_set_flags() provides the ability to set these flags.</p>

<p>The functions DH_meth_get0_app_data() and DH_meth_set0_app_data() provide the ability to associate implementation specific data with the DH_METHOD. It is the application&#39;s responsibility to free this data before the DH_METHOD is freed via a call to DH_meth_free().</p>

<p>DH_meth_get_generate_key() and DH_meth_set_generate_key() get and set the function used for generating a new DH key pair respectively. This function will be called in response to the application calling DH_generate_key(). The parameter for the function has the same meaning as for DH_generate_key().</p>

<p>DH_meth_get_compute_key() and DH_meth_set_compute_key() get and set the function used for computing a new DH shared secret respectively. This function will be called in response to the application calling DH_compute_key(). The parameters for the function have the same meaning as for DH_compute_key().</p>

<p>DH_meth_get_bn_mod_exp() and DH_meth_set_bn_mod_exp() get and set the function used for computing the following value:</p>

<pre><code>r = a ^ p mod m</code></pre>

<p>This function will be called by the default OpenSSL function for DH_generate_key(). The result is stored in the <b>r</b> parameter. This function may be NULL unless using the default generate key function, in which case it must be present.</p>

<p>DH_meth_get_init() and DH_meth_set_init() get and set the function used for creating a new DH instance respectively. This function will be called in response to the application calling DH_new() (if the current default DH_METHOD is this one) or DH_new_method(). The DH_new() and DH_new_method() functions will allocate the memory for the new DH object, and a pointer to this newly allocated structure will be passed as a parameter to the function. This function may be NULL.</p>

<p>DH_meth_get_finish() and DH_meth_set_finish() get and set the function used for destroying an instance of a DH object respectively. This function will be called in response to the application calling DH_free(). A pointer to the DH to be destroyed is passed as a parameter. The destroy function should be used for DH implementation specific clean up. The memory for the DH itself should not be freed by this function. This function may be NULL.</p>

<p>DH_meth_get_generate_params() and DH_meth_set_generate_params() get and set the function used for generating DH parameters respectively. This function will be called in response to the application calling DH_generate_parameters_ex() (or DH_generate_parameters()). The parameters for the function have the same meaning as for DH_generate_parameters_ex(). This function may be NULL.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>DH_meth_new() and DH_meth_dup() return the newly allocated DH_METHOD object or NULL on failure.</p>

<p>DH_meth_get0_name() and DH_meth_get_flags() return the name and flags associated with the DH_METHOD respectively.</p>

<p>All other DH_meth_get_*() functions return the appropriate function pointer that has been set in the DH_METHOD, or NULL if no such pointer has yet been set.</p>

<p>DH_meth_set1_name() and all DH_meth_set_*() functions return 1 on success or 0 on failure.</p>
